The giant blue fist hit Peter's handsome face, and even though he held back, he was knocked back several meters to the side.
Nearly half of the teeth on the left side were knocked out mixed with blood.
He landed on the ground and was just about to struggle to his feet when he was held down by four blue Hands of Magic.
He wanted to struggle but couldn't move, very much like a helpless little girl.
After struggling for a while, he gave up.
Looking at the person who had made him like this, he asked in a half-puzzled, half-helpless tone, "Roland?"
"You know me?" Roland came over and asked.
"No." Peter's cheeks bulged at great speed as he spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "But among Master Mages, you're the only one who can use Hand of Magic so smoothly."
Roland gave an "oh."
He had also found an opportunity to sacrifice the newly improved spell model of Hand of Magic to the Goddess of Magic, and now many Mages knew the improved Hand of Magic.
But for the time being, no one used it better than Roland, its creator.
It was also one of Roland's signature spells.
It spread throughout the magic world.
After all, it had been a long, long time since anyone had sacrificed spells so frequently and received the approval of the Goddess of Magic.
At this time, Stephanie also came over. She looked at Peter and said slowly, "Third Brother has a good relationship with you, why do you want to harm him?"
"I didn't want to harm him." Peter chuckled. "I just asked him to help me bring something out."
"The magic necklace you want, what's it for?"
Peter shook his head. "This concerns our family's secrets. I hope the royal family doesn't get too involved. "
"I don't want to get involved with your family's secrets." Stephanie looked up at him. "But what you're doing now involves our royal family. The royal tomb is such an important place that even ordinary members of our royal family can't just go in. What right do you, an outsider, have to go in? "
Peter didn't say anything more.
He even closed his eyes and made an expression of looking at death calmly.
"You're very tight-lipped, aren't you?" Stephanie snorted, then turned her head to Roland and said, "Please, help me look at his memories."
"To be honest, playing with memories is a pretty evil thing." Roland opened his hands. "It's fine for our own people, but if we use it on outsiders, if word gets out … well, it'll be quite troublesome."
In the game's description, the reputation of many factions would decrease slightly.
"You mean, after reading his memories, we'll kill him immediately?" Stephanie blinked at Roland.
Roland smiled mysteriously.
This time, Peter, who had his eyes closed the whole time, was so scared that he almost jumped up. He quickly opened his eyes and said, "Wait, don't mess around, don't mess around. I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"
As a Wizard, as a Spell Caster, he knew the consequences of having his soul invaded.
If he encountered someone who randomly smashed and dug around in his soul world and forcefully read his memories, it would be strange if he didn't turn into a fool.
In this world, reading souls was a very dangerous act. There were very, very few people like Roland who could safely enter another person's soul world.
This was a talent that ordinary people could not learn.
But Peter did not know.
As far as he knew, the soul world had to be forcefully read.
Death was not scary … what was scary was becoming a fool, eating, drinking, and defecating like a two or three-year-old child.
Stephanie smiled at Roland, then looked at Peter. "Speak, of course, if you say something we don't think makes sense, we'll check your memories all the same, don't try to play tricks."
"I won't lie to you, I've been caught by you anyway." Peter looked at Roland. "Can you let me go first and let me stand and talk? I'm a noble anyway, please give me some dignity."
Dignity of a noble … Roland shrugged and dispersed the four Hands of Magic.
Peter stood up. He first gave himself Minor Healing … the effect was not very good, and while it was useful, it was incomparable to Minor Healing cast by Roland.
But even so, it was a little painless.
Then he patted his robe, trying to make himself look cleaner, before saying, "Actually, I didn't want to do anything to Eihausen either."
Stephanie snorted.
He already made a move, and he said he didn't want to … Besides, the two of them had been friends since childhood, and it was Peter who did things without a bottom line and was ungrateful.
"I know you may despise me, First Princess, but I'm really being threatened." Peter sighed and said, "Next, after I say these words, most of my family members will probably die."
"What do you mean, are you threatening me?" Stephanie naturally didn't believe it. "And with the lives of your family, is there such a thing?"
"I'm just telling the truth." Peter looked at Roland. "Please testify for me, it's not that I really want to kill my family, it's that I really have no choice."
Roland raised an eyebrow.
Stephanie was a little impatient. "…"
"I'm being targeted by a demon." Peter took a few deep breaths in succession and said, "I'm being targeted by a demon."
As soon as these words came out, Roland jerked Stephanie's hand back and retreated.
A burst of black smoke suddenly emerged from Peter's body, then dissipated into the air.
This black smoke was full of an evil aura, making people extremely uncomfortable.
Stephanie froze for a moment as she looked at Peter. "Are you really being targeted by a demon?"
However, Peter ignored her.
Instead, he looked in the direction to his left, where his home was.
Roland also looked that way almost at the same time.
In the next second, a gust of black smoke rose into the sky from where the two of them were staring.
It was of the same origin as the black smoke just now, but more evil and massive.
Peter showed a smile at first, but then his expression became one of grief.
"I told you, the demon would get back at me." His knees swished to the ground and he let out a painful howl. "Father, mother, and my brothers and sisters, we will avenge you."
The crying was very realistic, and it made people want to cry.
However, both Roland and Stephanie, looking at Peter, became very strange.
It was even full of contempt.
Stephanie knew that she had been made a scapegoat, and she was quite angry, but there was nothing to say.
It was true that she had forced Peter to tell the truth, and the other party had warned her in advance that once he told the truth, the entire Peter family would suffer.
She had been set up.
"What's the use of crying here, maybe your family isn't dead yet," Stephanie said through gritted teeth.
"That's right." Peter stood up, looking flustered. "I have to go see them."
It was also at this moment that a powerful fluctuation of light power suddenly arose in the Holy Realm.
A ball of light that looked like a small sun flew up and flew at great speed to the sky above the Peter family manor, then a huge golden light enveloped the entire manor.
The black smoke quickly disappeared under this golden light.
The small sun then descended into the manor, and not long after, it flew up again and swooped straight at the three of them.
Soon it came above the three of them.
At this time, the three of them also saw the true face of the small sun.
The Holy Lady of Light glowed all over and had a pair of wings of light spread out behind her.
She saw the First Princess and immediately descended.
Although in terms of status, she was not much worse than the First Princess, she still had to give the future queen the respect she deserved.
The successive Holy Ladies of Light had always had high emotional intelligence.
This one was no exception.
After she landed, she withdrew her wings and nodded slightly to Stephanie. "It's been a long time, Your Highness."
"It's indeed been a long time, Your Holiness." Stephanie revealed a smile.
The Holy Lady's gaze swept over Roland at the same time and finally fell on Peter, whose face was stained with tears.
"Mr. Peter, I have something very serious to tell you. Your family, just now, were all killed by evil forces." There was some pity in the Holy Lady's beautiful eyes. "And you also have evil forces entangling you. Do you need me to purify them for you?"
Peter covered his face with his hands, and a cry of grief came out.
The Holy Lady frowned slightly, then she looked at Stephanie, only to find that the latter's expression was quite disdainful.
The Church of Light had a lot of intelligence research on Stephanie.
And the Holy Lady had also had a lot of contact with Stephanie and knew that she was a member of the royal family with a high emotional intelligence and a bottom line.
Otherwise, the Church of Light wouldn't have casually let Stephanie inherit the throne at the same time.
But now, Stephanie had such an expression. Was there … something hidden in this?
The Holy Lady looked at Peter again and found that this man's crying seemed a bit fake.
At this moment, Stephanie spoke. "Mr. Peter, my condolences. From now on, you are the patriarch of the Peter family, and the entire family's affairs need to be handled by you."
On the surface, these words seemed normal, but the Holy Lady felt a hint of sarcasm in them.
She took half a step back slightly and turned on her spectator mode.
Peter put his hands on his face, revealing a tear-stained, grief-stricken face. "You're right, Your Highness, I'll go back and bury my family now, and then I'll try to get revenge."
"Before that, can you tell me what the devil asked you to take out of our royal tomb?"
"Payne's legendary necklace," Peter said, wiping his eyes.
"Got it."
Stephanie stepped aside and let Peter leave.
At this moment, the Holy Lady suddenly said, "Mr. Peter, I just heard you mention the devil, and … you do still have the aura of the devil on you. Can you tell me something that only you know?"
The Holy Lady was quite annoyed now.
A year ago, there was actually a fallen angel hiding in the Holy Realm of Light, and no one knew about it, which had already embarrassed the Church of Light once.
Now there was an evil force in the capital, killing the people of a manor.
This was the capital of Fareins, and the brightest place in the light.
For such things to happen consecutively, the upper echelons of the Church of Light were all furious.
Otherwise, this matter could have been handled by just sending an archbishop, and there would have been no need for the Holy Lady to do anything at all.
Now that she heard that Peter actually seemed to have something to do with the devil, the Holy Lady naturally had to ask.
Peter's body stiffened slightly, then he nodded very seriously and said, "Your Holiness, I will tell you everything, but please give me half a day to bury my family, okay?"
"No problem." The Holy Lady nodded solemnly.
Watching the Holy Lady "escort" Peter away, Stephanie showed some of the smile of a successful revenge.
Then she looked at Roland and said, "I'll have to trouble you to accompany me to the royal tomb again, to look at that magic necklace, and to solve the problem within my soul."
"Of course." Roland waved his hand. "We're all friends, so there's no need to say the word trouble too often."
"Even friends have to be clear about their accounts. Don't worry, I won't let you do it for nothing. " Stephanie thought about it and said, "Andonara once said that you're not very interested in money and power, so I'll have Lady Bluebird keep you company for a few nights."
Roland was almost scared out of his wits. "No, I'd rather you give me money."
"Lady Bluebird is beautiful, it's not like you haven't seen her before."
Roland had to admit that the Lady Bluebird he had seen before was indeed a beautiful woman, not much worse than Andonara.
But the problem was that she had a husband.
"You're afraid she's dirty?" Stephanie waved her hand. "Don't worry, she's under my protection and doesn't need to pander to men at will, and her husband doesn't seem to have touched her for more than half a year. She's clean."
"If you really want to thank me, you'd better give me money."
Stephanie laughed. "Not bad, so loyal to Andonara."
"No jokes, what was that necklace Peter was talking about just now?" Roland spoke as he followed Stephanie out. "Even the devil wants it."
"I don't know." Stephanie climbed into her carriage. "But I know it's hung on a magic array in the royal tomb."
"The eye of the array?"
Stephanie shook her head apologetically. "I don't know much about magic, and I don't know what role it plays in it."
"Then let's go take a look and find out."
The carriage once again drove to the royal tomb and arrived at its destination in about forty minutes.
Once again, the guards pushed open the giant bronze gate, and the two walked forward along the passage.
The passage was long and dark, and Roland instantly sent out a ball of light to illuminate it.
After about two minutes of walking, they saw a black barrier curtain in front of the passage, shaking slightly like the surface of a lake.
Roland was about to analyze it with his mental power, but Stephanie had already walked in.
He could only follow.
Passing through the outer layer of the barrier, Roland saw the inside of the royal tomb.
The huge cavern in the mountain was almost boundless, with countless giant load-bearing pillars holding up the high dome.
Between the Heavy Pillars, there were countless continuous bridges that went up and down, forming a 'spider web bridge' that would make one exclaim in admiration.
"Shocking, right?" Stephanie asked somewhat smugly. "When I saw it back then, I was shocked for a whole month."
"It's really impressive!" Roland took in the surrounding scenery, then subconsciously cast a protective spell on himself and Stephanie. "A dense swarm of ghosts."
Ghosts?
Hearing that, Stephanie had goosebumps all over her body. "Where, where?"
Roland flicked his finger, and a ball of Dust of Appearance shot up into the air and exploded.
Countless crystalline magic dust covered and spread.
Large swaths of translucent figures appeared one after another.
These figures stood in front of them, on countless high bridges, floating in the air, inhumanely watching the two of them.
Stephanie's face was pale and she immediately clung to Roland's arm tightly.
